APPOINTMENTS DEFERRED
Gov. Perry has deferred the appointment
of Judges of the several Circuit Courts and
District Attorneys Until the completion of
the spring circuits throughout the States
Some have alleged that these appointments
have not been made because Of the close
Senatorial contest, which might have been
affected adversely to Gov Perry had he
made appointment, which would necessarily
involve many disappointments that could
cert0inly do bis cause 10 material good.
But those who know the Governor best say
he has not acted because he desired to CON
slider well the merits of the various apph-
cants and give to each circuit the best pos
sible appointment.
NO OCCASION FOR HASTE.
There has really been no occasion for
speedy action in the matter, and if suitable
selections are made the seeming delay will
prove to be a real benefit to the people.
There is no lack of applicants, and all are
first-class men, any one of whom would
make good Judge.
In the Seventh circuit there are three APP
plicantS for the iudgeship, J. d. Broome, of
DeLand, and Messrs. Beggs and Hammond.
of Orlando They are all good men, and
their so-called claims are being urged with
uutiring zeal. There seems to be no oppo-
0Etfpn to the disappointment Of Judge d. 5.
nlker to the Tallahassee circuit, and
fge Vaun, of Madison, appears to be the
xDrite in the Third circuit. Judge Nc
Han win probably be reappointed in the
J NLlkt circuit.
AT A STANDSTILL.
10 really important legislation has been
1cmpted because of the Senatorial excite
nj, but the passage of Senator Mallory's
Ill prohibiting the granting of free passes
% @lncmbers of nominating conventions
shows how the members feel about the
abuse of complimentary passes. The com
Inittee to investigate the celebrated section
of the new constitution which was left out
Of that instrument has entirely re
leved from all blame the persons against
whom charges have been made and attribute
the absence of the section to accident alone.
The section related to public printing and
required the work to be given to the lowest
bidder, and it was charged that it was de-
stroyed by those interested in retaining the
printing of the State. The report of the
investigating committee, however, com
pletely exonerates the State Printer and all
others connected with the matter The bill
relative to future State printing, most
likely to pass, gives the work to the lowest
bidder, who shall be under the supervision
of the administration officers of the Elk
ecutive Department.
